Our Mission

Imagine a school where children see all their teachers as allies.

Imagine a school where children have the same teachers for consecutive years so they truly get to know one another.

Imagine a school where the teachers know each child’s writing style so well they can spot it as soon as they read it.

Imagine a school where assignments are tailored to the personalities and passions of the group so that necessary skills can be developed in a context where the students *like* the work (even teenagers!).

Imagine a school where the students follow the vast majority of rules because the rules make sense to them because they’ve had a say in creating them.

All of this is possible in an independent, mission-centered school. Our mission is an active, relevant compass for our teachers, administration, and board of trustees. It is the reason behind the tremendous experience each child experiences within our program.
